S.A.’s one ‘Idol’ survivor gave it her all; did she make it?

That lone survivor, Cristabel Clack, a Judson graduate and mom of three, delivered a solid, and at times, quirky, rendition of Alicia Keyes song “No One” during Wednesday’s female “sudden death” round.

The S.A. native earned raves from both Keith Urban, who said he loves that little rasp in her voice, and Randy Jackson who compared her to a “racehorse.” Jackson even jumped to his feet in appreciation during her performance.

However, once again, it was proven that the female judges, Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey, were calling the Season 12 shots. Both gave the stylish Clack, a worship leader in the Alamo City who was dressed in a cute short dress with full apricot skirt and ankle boots, so-so reviews. Nikki acknowledged, yes, Cristabel has a unique voice, but thought it got a bit out of control this time.

In short, Clack wasn’t among the final five females who advanced to the Top 10 of “American Idol” this go-round.

The one truly memorable performance by one of these chosen came from the wild and more than a little bit crazy Zoanette Johnson. When she belted “The Lion King’s” “Circle of Life,” she left Minaj in tears and had Urban proclaiming “Kudos to the Queen of the Jungle!”

The last 10 male semifinalists, including Vincent Powell of Austin and Cortez Shaw of Dallas, will sing for a place in the guys’ Top 10 at 7 tonight on Fox.

This will conclude the judges’ rounds; next week, the 20 hopefuls, which, so far, include two Texans from other areas of the state, Kree Harrison (Woodville) and Amber Holcomb (Houston), will sing for America’s votes.
